Lyrics
Butterfly Eyes
Feels like coffee clouds twisting and turning over my head
Sometimes I feel like letting go
Almost feels an endless sum of digits, cars and treasure jars keep me
from what I need which is
to go
home
home
These concrete scars lead in - lead out
reflecting an essence of what life is all about
The reeling and squealing of dreams
Mother nature tends to saturate the feel of this special deal
with the need
to go home
to go home
and when I get home I?m going to dance and sing
I?m gonna sip and grin
I?m gonna go
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
I don?t feel like messing up
I don?t feel like messing up
No!
Manic street preachers sing songs for metal things
some land out
some land in
sometimes I?m sure they feel like letting go
we call them creatures of the street which they remain until we meet one
and speak to one
and find out all they want
is to go home
to go home
and when I get home I?m going to dance and sing
I?m gonna sip and grin
I?m gonna go
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
I don?t feel like messing up
I don?t feel like messing up
I don?t feel like messing up
I don?t feel like messing up
No!
Do I generate impressions by mixing water and oil
What do I do?
What do I do?
Do memories fade with age or hibernate in soil what do I do?
Do I...
click those heels or deny what I feel
will this yellow brick road ever take me home
Sometimes I feel like letting go
Then I see a little light in someones eyes...
they?re your eyes
Those Butterfly Eyes that take me home...
to go home
and when I get home I?m going to dance and sing
I?m gonna sip and grin
I?m gonna go
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
I don?t feel like messing up
